The Benefits of Fluoride

Community water fluoridation will ensure everyone in our community can enjoy better oral health, overall health, and well-being.

Fluoride is nature’s cavity fighter, a mineral found in most lakes, rivers, and oceans. But it’s usually found at levels below what’s needed to prevent tooth decay. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Fluoride replaces minerals lost to the acid attacks that happen when we eat.
